Hamza Choudhury

[James_lcfc]

Hmmm. Not sure about that one.

[eddylcfc]

This club just doesn’t learn, does it?

 

Decent championship back up but not anywhere near premier league level.

[Stevosevic]

I guess Enzo sees him as the perfect squad player at either level over the next couple of years.

 

Also means we can a get a fee for him if we sell in a couple of years time I guess…

[It'sblueupnorth]

Looks more like Faes from the picture to me

[Sampson]

4 years? Feels a bit like when we gave an injured Matty James a 4 year deal. Feels like the club haven't learnt.

You say that but he was decent PL back up for a number of years we were successful until the whole club fell apart under Rodgers…

[Tielemans63]

Maybe a longer deal but on a lower wage? 

[moore_94]

Be interesting to find out if this was a club decision or an Enzo decision (although seems a few people have already made their minds up)

 

Enzo seems to quite like him, he wouldn't trust him to play in that Ricardo role if he didn't think he had the technical ability for it

Blimey, was it you who wrote 4 years on the contract as well?

[Tielemans63]

As an aside, I'm not sure this was the mystery the social team thought it was

You’d hope so, considering he was supposedly on something like £60k per week before.

Yeah I guess we pushed for a reduction and therefore he pushed for a longer term.

That was the idea this summer but Watford didn't rate him enough to fork out the fee.

 

There must something in the water in Leicestershire as reading this forum you'd be forgiven for wondering why Man City aren't looking to sign him as Rodri's back up.

That's because Rodgers was to blame for everything, and the players don't need to take any responsibility for the past two years..apparently.

 

They are now all world beaters, if you haven't realised!

[Seventyseven]

Barely good enough for the Championship.

 

Nowhere near good enough for the PL.

Looks like even if they did want to keep him, which they might have for all we know, they couldn't afford it

 

£2m spent, a few frees and loans shows they were never going to spend £6m on Hamza

Never learn do we had the chance to get rid at the end of the season and now we’re stuck with him for for another 4 years 

[ousefox]

4 years for a squad player in the Championship Jesus.

[AKCJ]

A hell of a lot of bed wetting in here.

[CosbehFox]

If we could up and make investments in the swuqd as you expect, he’d be borderline to make the 25. 
 

Madness regardless whose led with it, Enzo or the club 

[Tielemans63]

Decent squad player. If it's on a reduced wage, I don't see a big problem with this.

So many of our fans apparently know better than the manager who has just delivered nine wins out of ten and whose coaching ability has already been demonstrated with the complete transformation of Ndidi. Personally I'm happy to trust Enzo's judgment on this one.

[SK3Blue]

4 years, unbelievable. 

[moseeds]

The guy is living my dream. Go on son! Some people would prefer spending £15m on a poorer version of Hamza because of youtube clips from an easier league.

 

The guy is still learning and clearly rated. He's a leader too. He's the kind of player you want when your backs against the wall and you need to grind out a result. He knows his weaknesses but his strengths aren't easy to find. Worth it.

Ah yeah fair point on that one man.

[coolhandfox]

He has a lot of raw materials to be a good player.

 

We may just have a manager who can bring out the best in him.  

 

Whilst I would love us to buy lots of new players, we have six players first team out of contract in the summer and 4 loan players who will be going back to their parent clubs.

 

That's ten players we need to recruit at a minimum. We don't have a bottomless pit of money.
